Help The Lunduke Journal fight against the Tech Goliaths
March 25, 2025

The corrupt Tech Foundations of the world — WikiMedia, The Linux Foundation, Mozilla, and the rest — have received hundreds of Millions of dollars in donations. The Big Tech giants bring in Billions and Billions ever year.

And there is only one Tech News outlet that is pushing back against these woke, dirty organizations… The Lunduke Journal.

One nerdy David. Against an army of well-funded, woke Tech Goliaths.

Without your support, The Lunduke Journal would not exist.

And, without The Lunduke Journal, many Tech News stories simply would never be told.

From now, through Friday, March 28th, we are running The Lunduke Journal pledge drive.

Make a one time donation (with multiple options, including Bitcoin) — and help keep The Lunduke Journal publishing commercial free, Big-Tech-Free news.

Or grab a discounted subscription and get a few fun perks:

  • Access to the exclusive Forum.

  • Access to exclusive shows (such as Q & A’s).

  • Warm Fuzzy Feelings (tm) that you’re supporting truly independent Tech Journalism.

Scroll down to find the option that works bet for you. Give only what you are able. Together we will tell the Tech News stories that no other Tech News outlet has the guts cover — together we will hold these Tech Goliaths accountable.

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

Like it or not, so-called artificial intelligence (AI) is now a requirement. As part of the IT & cyber security toolkit. Not doing so now gives bad actors a leg up.

There are 3 certainties in Tech. One of them is 50% off Lunduke Journal subscriptions today.

Life is filled with uncertainties.

  • Will Valve’s new Steam Machine be reasonably priced?

  • When will Microsoft replace the Windows Calculator with an AI chatbot?

  • Will The Lunduke Journal have a sale next week?

Do you know the answers to any of those questions? Shoot. I sure don’t!

But, within the Tech Industry, there are 3 certainties:

  1. There will be more bugs found in the Rust Core Utility clones.

  2. GNOME will say something stupid before the day ends.

  3. And The Lunduke Journal is having a sale right now.

Why take chances? Embrace what you know for certain and grab a Lunduke Journal subscription, right now, for 50% off.

$3 / Month. Or $27 / Year (which works out to… [does math]… $2.25 / Month). Or $150 for Life (seriously… for life).

Which will then give you all of the perks:

  • DRM-Free MP4 Downloads of all videos.

  • Full access to the exclusive forum.

  • And a bunch of nerdy eBooks.

50% off subscriptions lasts through Friday (November 14th).

Maybe the sale will be extended. Maybe another sale will happen again in the future.

Then again… maybe not.

Can you really take that chance?

Lunduke Journal Update: Nov 12, 2025

Just a few quick Lunduke Journal-y tidbits on this fine Wednesday afternoon!

  1. Two fascinating interviews this week: DHH and Preston Byrne (the attorney for 4chan). Both are worth catching if you haven’t already.

  2. The 50% off Subscriptions deal has been extended through this Friday (Nov 14th). So many of you kept picking up new subscriptions… I figured… what the heck! Why not keep the party going? So Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime subs are all half off at least through Friday!

  3. The “Lifetime Subscriber Wall” isn’t part of today’s (November 12th) shows. There have been so many requests to be added to the wall this week that I need to update the design a bit to fit everybody. The Lifetime Wall will re-appear at the end of new shows tomorrow or Friday.

Once again, thank you for your support! None of this would be possible without you!

Lunduke taking Veteran's Day off

Today, we honor our veterans and their service to our nation.

Great men, like my grandfather who, during World War II, joined the Navy at 14 years old. He was a big, older-looking teenager… so, as was not unheard of, he lied about his age on the paperwork in order to go fight the Axis.

And his father, who joined in the year leading up to the start of World War I.

I am taking this Veteran’s Day off. In part to spend time helping my children learn about their family’s US military history (which goes back, on multiple lines, to the very beginning of our nation). And in part… to watch one of the greatest movies ever made, The Great Escape. Because, hey, Steve McQueen and James Garner! Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve.

Lunduke Journal shows will resume tomorrow (and I’ve got an awesome one lined up).

In the meantime, if you haven’t watched yesterday’s DHH interview yet, highly recommended. Watch (or listen) to it anywhere you like.

And, in the grand tradition of “Veterans Day Sales”, I’ve extended the 50% off all Lunduke Journal subscriptions discount through this coming Friday. Because I can. Pretty sure my Grandpa would approve of that too.
